I feel it is related to http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/ macports-changes/2007-September/009496.html
Sorry Tamal. You're absolutely right. I obviously didn't test that change very well. Thank you for noticing and reporting it. I've updated the portfile to fix this in r28894, and believe I have tested that it works this time.
I copied the symlinks from my installation of mysql5 to his computer, and things appeared to work, but I was unable to run mysql_install_db5 or mysqld_safe without error.
Any idea how I can easily get this up and running today? Or should I use the .pkg installer on mysql.org for now?
You should be able to "port sync" within about half an hour, and then "sudo port install mysql5 +server" to get version 5.0.45_3. If you still see problems with that version, please do report them. Thanks.
